Which cloud security services offer the best integration with popular cloud platforms like AWS and Azure?

As I am currently working on AWS, I can list some from the Amazon Web Services. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM): IAM enables you to manage access to AWS services and resources securely. It integrates tightly with other AWS services, allowing you to control who can access specific resources and what actions they can perform. A few advantages include: Granular Access Control Centralized Management Identity Federation Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Identity-based Policies Integration with AWS Services Overall, IAM plays a crucial role in securing your AWS environment by providing fine-grained access control, centralized management, and robust identity management capabilities.

One common security service across the cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google cloud etc.) is Identity and access management. This enables cloud engineers and architects to design and build for robust security whereby access and permission is based on user, group or role thus defining fine grain boundaries for what and the limit that is authorized for a user. The ability to integrate Identity Management across various cloud platforms is what gave it the desired flavor coupled with the ability to multi layer with SSO and MFA no doubt ensures the security of your data in the cloud.

More than efficient management of identities (AuthN), we need efficient management of authorizations (AuthZ) and that those authorizations are effectively tailored, not only for access to the service but for the specific task and the time actually needed. An example is certainly the possibility of using Temporary Access Pass (TAP). Entra ID, previously known as Azure Active Directory, offers this possibility even with the effortless integration of Passwordless phone sign-in, with the possibility of changing the posture and conditional access in real time

Across the cloud platforms, encryption is a standard process thus a conscientious effort to protect your data whether in the state of rest or when in transit. This cool feature of cloud platforms adopts the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) standard to ensure that your data remains secure and confidential while providing decryption either through system automated keys or customer managed keys.

Here are some of the top options in AWS known for integration and threat intelligence features that i came across: AWS Security Hub: AWS Security Hub is a comprehensive security service that provides centralized security management and threat intelligence across your AWS accounts. It aggregates, prioritizes, and helps you remediate security findings from various AWS services and integrated third-party products. Trend Micro Cloud One: Trend Micro Cloud One is a cloud security platform that offers multiple services, including workload security, container security, and file storage security. It integrates seamlessly with AWS and provides advanced threat intelligence capabilities to detect and respond to security threats in real-time.
